The Original RDR has been termed “sandbox with a 6-gun”. It is infinitely more approachable, and in my humble opinion, the better of the two by far. It has none of the survival/camp manager nonsense, just you and your horse and plenty of random shenanigans to get up to.
Is this repack worth $50? Probably not… but this is definitely the more enjoyable (in everything but graphics) game.
Very seldom is anything dialed in right out of the box. No copium in my book, getting the game perfect is the whole point of pc gaming.
